Default how much power will a walbro support

I'm starting to collect parts for my turbo motor. Last week I spent over $3000 in parts What i'm wondering is aat what point do i need to sump my tank and replace the factory lines. I have a DC2 integra, and i'm shooting for about 500whp on turbo and bottle. I was told a walbro with 1000cc's will support this but damn that seems risky. So i figured i'ld ask and see what y'all thought

i know alot of people have run 500+ on stock lines and a walbro. i'm shooting for more than that myself, until i can get some extra cash for a sump/external and ss lines.

i've heard that the fuel rail, banjo bolts and fuel filter cause a lot of bottle necking. what do you recommend replacing these with? Especially the banjo bolts.

is replacing the fuel filter with an aftermarket unit a good idea? Will it mount uo to the stock supply line?

Just from personal experience, with out fuel pressure dropping a couple of pounds we can usually only get 275-325 to the wheels. I personally ran a walbro and inline booster up to 500 ish but was losing as much as 10lbs of pressure by the end (most of the time you can tune it out with big injectors).
